Are All Realizations Just Deeper and Deeper Experiences of Love?

In my opinion, most of us seem to live in the intellectual domain of life. We think of life in terms of dualities: good/bad, right/wrong, beautiful/ugly, etc.
Our discussion centers, in part, around what is, say, good and what bad and then what we like and dislike about the good and the bad. Cotton is good for you; polyester is bad (I’m making this up). I like cotton and I don’t like polyester.
I like honey mustard; I don’t like mayonnaise. I like Nice on the Riviera; I don’t like Hawaii. I like purple; I don’t like black. On and on we go … and this is life for us. We are what we like.
The experiential realm is more about flowing with life and experience, going where it takes us and opening to the future, to what’s around the next bend.
It doesn’t necessarily result in a lot of words; communication is often by the expression and reception of feeling states, what I’ve in the past called “resonance.”
What makes an experientialist tick can be lost on an intellectual and vice versa.
We might see this as a ladder of increasingly-refined consciousness. The next rung on it is the realized state.
To call it that is to view it from a 3rd/4th-dimesional perspective. If we were to view it from a higher-dimensional perspective, we might call it the ascended state.
Then we might make distinctions between temporary visits to those higher dimensions, as in, say, heart openings or Self-Realization, and permanent ascension to the 5th dimension or higher, which is still a heart opening, but this time full and permanent.
Which perspective we choose only we can testify to. We’re all on the same one journey from God to God and there need be no judgment because one is in Place A and another in Place B.

But I do have my druthers. I find life lived solely at the intellectual level to be similar to eating dry, uncooked oatmeal. Life lived at the experiential level is like eating cooked oatmeal, with almond milk, cashews, raisins, and honey. Yum! Life lived at the realizational level, since it involves a love like we never imagined it to be, (1) is sublime. All thoughts of eating vanish.
Saying that, for me, is not an abstract statement. Right now I’m experiencing that love.
I wonder if I’d be accurate in saying that all realizations are simply deeper and deeper experiences of love. I’d be willing to make that as a testable hypothesis.
All realizations are simply deeper and deeper experiences of love. There. Now I need to try it on and test it out.
